Great little book by famed Czech writer Hrabal! I had previously read, "The Little Town Where Time Stood Still", and enjoyed it, but this book is even better.
Hrabal's humor left me smiling or even chuckling through much of the novel, while his dream-like scenes, such as the description of the grandmother scavenging the cast-off shirts and underwear at the baths, evoked wonderful images.
Weeks after finishing this book, I'm still thinking about it and examining all of the nuances.
